California: Better Late Than Never

I know, I know, I promised to post this about a month ago! We've been busy preparing for a new baby — it's a good excuse, right?

In mid-December I took a short trip out to California to see my family and attend the last-hurrah party of Key Curriculum Press, my employer for 4+ years. It was great to see everyone and I had a lot of fun. Here are a few of the highlights!

The whole gang.

This little guy was extra-happy to see me! As soon as I sat down he was on my lap.


I was there for most of Hanukkah (= oil holiday), and I allowed myself to indulge in my mom's excellent cooking. She even made me my own gluten free sufganiot (donuts)!



My parents also threw a Hanukkah party. More good food and excellent company - we lit the Hanukkiot together.



I was repeatedly asked to show off the belly, so here I am at 30 weeks:


We took a trip to the Berkeley Bowl (a special supermarket) and I acted like a tourist. Miss their fantastic produce selection!






Then it was time for the Key party. Here I am with a dressed-up bump and my parents:



My photos from the actually party didn't come out that well, but here are a few with good friends.




My friend, Anna, whom I met in Michigan and then moved to the Bay Area, came to visit me for Saturday brunch. It was soooo good to see her!

Chamin for brunch.

I was only in California for a week, which seemed to fly by, and everyone was sad that it was time to go.


But, I plan to be back soon and with a little lady in tow too!
